Voice of Ireland judge Bressie.

Entrants sought for Voice of Ireland show

RTÉ’s hugely successful talent show the Voice of Ireland is back for a fourth series and producers are looking for Ireland’s most exciting, fresh and unique talent.

The show has established itself as a firm favourite with viewers, with an average audience of over 600,000. The show provides the perfect platform for budding or even established singers to break into the music industry, with the winning contestant securing a recording contract from Universal Records.

Filming will begin in the autumn, with our four coaches keen to find the best talent Ireland has to offer and the application process is now open. You can apply online through www.rte.ie/thevoice by submitting an MP3 recording, video or Youtube clip, soundcloud or any digital format that showcases your voice.

Produced by Screentime ShinAwiL and airing in January the show will follow the nail biting format where contestants are judged solely on their voices. Our four celebrity coaches will sit with their backs to the contestants and have to decide if this is the voice they want on their team. And if more than one coach turns then be prepared for begging and pleading as our coaches try to persuade the singers to join their team.

Screentime ShinAwiL are delighted to be commissioned by RTÉ to produce the fourth series of The Voice of Ireland. We’re also thrilled to have Müller once again as series sponsor. We look forward to putting together a great Coach line up for our Irish viewers as this series will be the biggest yet. We have been inundated with enquires about applications all year and are excited to see what type of talent Ireland will throw up this year? Will it be a Rap, Rockabilly, Pop, or a budding Garth Brooks or Dolly Parton country singer?

Applications are open until Friday 31st August 2014.

If you’re over 18 and think you could convince a coach to turn for you in the Blind Auditions, then you can apply at rte.ie/thevoice .
